People-friendly streets

Islington’s streets belong to everyone. But as mapping technology has improved, more and more traffic has been using local streets to get where they are going. Local people have told us they want their streets to be friendlier places that are easier for everyone to use, to enjoy being outside in clean air, to make it safer for walking, cycling, using buggies and wheelchairs, and to relax or play.

The introduction of liveable neighbourhoods, low traffic neighbourhoods, School Streets and cycleways under our ambitious people-friendly streets programme will create more space for those who want to enjoy Islington as they walk or cycle. This way we will make Islington a more equal place for everyone.

You can view the location of the low traffic neighbourhoods and School Streets on Google maps.
